Back from Berlin
Jan 5th, 2009 by struwwelchen
Last few days I stayed at Berlin for meeting other cachers, podcasting and geocaching. Oh, and watching the big “Feuerwerk” at the Brandenburger Tor on silvester!
By the way I visited 3 museum The Bode-Museum , the old national gallery and the “Mauer-Museum” at Checkpoint Charlie.
And I found some caches! One of the tricky one is the cache at the old castle. Castle? Yes, Berlin will get it’s old destroyed castle back! In the neigtborhood was the “Palast der Republik” from the former GDR; it’s broken down and you can see the cellars of the old castle. It’s planned to rebuild the castle in the next years.
But it was so cold these days, that I couldn’t do much more caches than 9. Because I walked all the ways and didn’t took the “S-Bahn” or tramway, it’s took a little bit longer to arrive at the several cache locations. And for the first time I was paperless caching but it didn’t work like I thought. So I did two virtual caches - one at Checkpoint Charlie and the other one at the “Mauer” at the “Potsdamer Platz” - and only 7 traditional caches but in the summer I will return and find the others hundreds and thousands of caches…..
It was a short but very nice stay at Berlin with meeting nice other cachers - we will meet us at the mumble server - and next time I’ll get better prepared for geocaching! Promised!
